Question 6
Consider the following initialization of a DecisionTreeClassifier:
clf = DecisionTreeClassifier(max_depth=3, random_state=42, splitter='best')If the training data consists of 100 samples and 10 features, what is the maximum possible number of leaf nodes that can exist in the decision tree, assuming the following conditions:
- The tree is a perfectly balanced binary tree.
- There is no pruning applied.
- There are no additional stopping criteria (e.g.,
min_samples_split,min_samples_leaf,max_leaf_nodes).
